The CBI on Friday is likely to question BJP Rajya Sabha MPs Prakash Javadekar,Bhupendra Yadav and party general secretary Ramlal,who figured in a sting operation that showed them purportedly trying to negotiate with the mother of the victim of fake encounter Tulsi Prajapati.
Sources said Javadekar,Yadav and Ramlal have been contacted by the CBI and may be asked to present themselves for questioning on the sting operation,conducted by a journalist. CBI sources said the questioning could take place on Friday.
The three leaders have refuted the charge and maintained that they are innocent. Javadekar had said he is ready to answer all questions pertaining to the CD.
In the sting operation,the leaders are purportedly shown discussing how Prajapatis mother Narmadabai can be convinced to change her Vakalatnama. She has filed a case,alleging that her son was killed in a fake encounter. However,BJP has claimed that there is nothing incriminating against the three leaders in the sting operation.
Meanwhile,CBI on Thursday questioned Rubabuddin,brother of another fake encounter victim Sohrabuddin Sheikh,a friend of Prajapati,who was also killed in a fake encounter,in connection with allegations that senior BJP leaders had conspired to derail the probe in Prajapatis extra-judicial killing in which former minister Amit Shah is an accused.
